Re: why do we have to copy instead of just select
VLCofA [EMAIL PROTECTED] sez: I've tried out many of the other note-grabbing programs, like SOHO Notes and Journler and Eagle Filer. Each of them requires only that you SELECT the text and invoke its grab command. This makes me wonder why Yojimbo, which I prefer in every other way, requires that we SELECT then COPY the text before we grab it. Any thoughts? Just about every application supports copying, whereas there are many commonly-used apps which don't support getting the selected text. Thus, Yojimbo uses the clipboard to make collecting data as consistent and reliable as possible.

DS There is an alternative way to import selected text without using the clipboard. Yojimbo includes an Import Text service (found under the Services menu in your current application's main menu). I've also written a standalone service that does more or less the same thing: http://anoved.net/2007/05/import-yojimbo-note.html The main difference is that my service imports the text as plain text whereas Yojimbo's service seems to retain color and style information. Mine also opens the new note window so that you can edit the note title or tags. Hope these methods give you some ideas.
